Type too large in printed emails

I've read some questions about too-small type: I have the opposite problem.
No matter what I do to the settings in Windows Mail (& IE), this only affects
the view, not the printing. The type in my print-outs is very large, with
much space between the lines, so that three paragraphs fill a page & I'm
wasting paper printing out messages.
Any suggestions very welcome!

OE uses the Internet Explorer print engine. To change the text size in
printing OE messages change the Internet Explorer setting at View | Text
Size in Internet Explorer.

Oops!
Canned answer that I should have edited. Yes, it does apply to WinMail. In
IE click the Page button and then Text Size.

Dear Frank,

Many thanks. Yes, this does work but I can't believe it is necessary to
reduce the viewing size of an internet page--to a size where it is difficult
to read easily--in order to print out emails in smaller type! (Or, for those
with the opposite problem, to have to make the type size on internet pages
too large in order to get larger type in email printouts.) Surely Microsoft
can do better than that!
In my previous email program, which I have had to abandon until it works
out how to cope with Vista, I could choose the font & type size for
displaying emails, and if I printed them they would be in that font & size.
